Watashi no Shounen - Vol. 3 Ch. 11 - Noise

Just started this series. But damn, initially thinking that the father was on the more "neglective" side after realizing how his son was living, and how we, and the protagonist, interpret his actions. But we see, he has his own perceptions and worries about his son. He genuinely cares. He's just in pain. From the loss. Perhaps he is strict with his son, but that's not a fault.
 
It's tough being a single dad. Even working in the States you only get around 4-5 hours of free time a night. In Japan with their work culture I can't imagine how tough it would be to manage long hours at the office and being there for your kids
 
Perhaps not step-mom but definitely honorary Aunt. Damn, thought it’d go into a phase where they couldn’t see each other anymore. Boy am I glad that the father and Satako just talked it over like reasonable and caring adults. That’s crazy to me. And the father gets another parent to oversee the kids without daycare win-WIn situation to me
 
You can sympathize with the dad but also realize he is neglecting Mashuu over his younger brother. You might be 'trying his best' but what he is doing was destroying his oldest sons life
